afterwards, at 9, FireTroupe will be having a mini firespin in Midsummer Common. I really want to dispel any notions that we're unsafe this year.

It would be great if you Camcircus (and anyone else) guys could come and meet us. I'll be going straight there after Camcircus.

(will it be ok to bring our equipment and paraffin (1 tub) and keep it on the side during camcircus? I don't want to have to walk back to Madingley Rd to get the stuff then tramp back to Midsummer Common!)

We provide glow and fire equipment and paraffin, it would be good if everyone who comes could contribute a couple of quid towards batteries and paraffin

Also, after hearing all the horror stories of unsafe-ness from last year, it would be good if you could give us some pointers. We'll proceed as we usually do when we have a fire muck-around, and would really appreciate feedback on how we operate - oh and definately no newbies on fire (i can't beleive that happened last year!) - we have glowy shiny poi and staff to spin.

So yeah - new year, new firetroupe, new toys, new tricks! I hope you can all come after Camcircus - Midsummer Common, 9-11pm. Thank you and see you at Camcricus

Posted:19th Nov 2006Hi Ak, Yes I'm sure its fine bringing fire stuff to camcircus provided its all secure/not prone to leaks and is kept out of the way. Not sure I'll be able to make it down but will certainly do my best, if only for a short while. I'm sure any safety issues will be sorted out with you involved as you seem very keen to do that. ofc I'll give you any pointers I can in that respect but its mainly common sense, something which was somewhat lacking last year. There was on one occasion a bucket with some paper and paraffin in it was serving as warmth/toy lighting, the main problem with this was far far too much paraffin in the bucket which resulted in it being turned over to put it out at the end of the night and spreading hot paraffin everywhere, dangerous yes and also made quite a mess which im sure the authorities wouldnt appreciate, as I said though I'm sure that wont happen this year.

Posted:27th Nov 2006Hi guys! I live in Cambridge (got to Hills road sixth form) I've been able to spin poi for a while but I recently started meteor poi and would greatly like to meet up with you all, It would be nice to spin with other people! Just let me know where and when and I'll be there! Thanks Ash

Posted:29th Nov 2006just dropping off my weekly consignment of for the cambridge people...

Ak: see you next year have a great Xmas!

Jettwilderbeast./Ash: check out http://www.camcircus.org/for details on the camcircus meets on Sunday, there's bound to be some spinny/juggly types there, I expect they'll be hiding from the cold weather by now. I will be sadly unable to attend, as I'm in China til next summer. Give them all a big from me when you meet them though!

Posted:29th Nov 2006Hi Guy We are indeed hiding from the cold weather, we did meet up with the fire troupe guys for a burn 2 weeks ago though which was fun.

Jett, as Guy says, come along to camcircus, you'll find several spinners there most sundays as well as loads of other people, jugglers, unicyclists trapeze if your interested in any of that as well. I just tend to stand in the corner spinning my poi tho

Posted:4th Dec 2006Performance cancelled due to full on weather - so in town very early! Bit gutted as quite looking forward to stretching my wings a bit! Still - I have a new pair of scary purple tights!

Hope you're all OK. *hugs* to everyone!
